Thread Name: 1954 and All That - defining folk music
Subject: RE: 1954 and All That - defining folk music
It's becoming clear the only people who expect to hear a performance of exclusively traditional material are the six individuals who hang around Mudcat's 1954 threads.
If a death metal band performed Lord Bateman from a few hundred watts of Marshall stack those six might applaud the folk process first time around but would they return for Lord Rendal and Blackbirds and Thrushes and offer the band a residency - or head for somewhere serving up fiddles and whistles?
